lol, actually, i think it's helping. the time it's taking to type out my posts is allowing my winners to run.
normally, i would have dumped them long ago.
i didn't say trades.. i said strategies of those trades.
they don't care what the stragegy is.. or if you even have one for that matter. some trader's styles may be 100% discretionary.
'sup, marky..
all of the trades are made from a universal account, and it would take a trememdous amount of reverse engineering to filter through the trades to decipher strategies. the computer's goes off all day, and it's just background noise to them until the close. their being well in...
you actually think someone "lost their ass"?!? a little early in the morning to be knocking back a few, isn't it Bitstream? now suddenly a few recoverable bucks on your plastic equates to "losing your ass"? who are you trying to kid? i had *1* referral on this board at $1,000. one at $600...
so what's stopping them from already doing that? if anyone wants to throw a few lots on top of what they're already doing, be my guest. once they've sized up, they can still make another 20% on that.
ooooh, i see. interesting. sizing up doesn't add to your risk profile. you know, i...
sure, i gotcha. skepticism is the nature of the business.. but trust me, the response was plentiful. i got PM's and emails from people i didn't even know existed on the board.. successful, consistent guys who've never post. i gave the contact info to the principals of the firm, and they'll...
but what about the crackers, Surdie? before you were tickled pink at the prospect of stuffig some crackers in your puss. now oyu're too good for crackers? what's it gonna take to get Surdie onboard? cookies? chips? ball park franks?
tell me, how can we be in the Surdie business? :confused:
your revisionist history is entertaining, and frankly i couldn't care less who you choose to and choose not to trust. like i said.. everyone in the thread suggested to everyone SEVERAL TIMES A DAY to start small with $6 or $12 bucks, and to slowly building on their gains. i said that SEVERAL...
i suppose that would work for a while. if you were still profitable on most of your other trades, it probably wouldn't even matter. if it's every trade, and the prog is consistently losing money on that trader, they'll cut them off.. i mean, they're not exactly idiots.
quite a few? really? name 'em. electric unfortunately stopped using his fraud-protection credit card to make his updates. that was part of the process and why he wasn't protected. everyone who used their cards as i strongly suggested from day one, started with $20 as i also suggested, and...
naa, it's 100% automated, so i'm sure some ne'er-do-well could have fun with it. the guys don't even sit at the computer.. just listen to it and glance over every now and then. i'm more fascinated by it and the idea than they are. the account is so "green" by the end of the day that they...
traded in some panties today.. and not the sexy french-cut, Victoria Secrets kind. more like the big ole' granny bloomers you find in the 99 cent bin at Ralphs. :(
totally underplayed that 12 to 2 rally.
$1,200+
i've been on this board for awhile now.. i knew someone would raise the strategy argument. traders treat their strategies like men manning the barbecue treat their meat. it's somewhat sacred. it's irreverent to grab the barbecue fork and handle another man's meat.
i totally understand the...
why would anyone have to reveal their strategy? i'm not exactly sure i follow you on that. all they'd have to do is prove they're profitable. if i simply showed someone my P&L's for a few months, how would they be able to usurp my strategy?
they don't even know your strategy, so how are they...
i'm not a principal in their firm so i'm not sure how they came to the 20% figure, but i assume it's because they incur 100% of the slippage risk, while in-turn benefitting the trader by pushing their stocks in the right direction.
if someone's trading style is to pyramid into positions, i'd...
